All the energy the Orioles’ young starters are creating in their September auditions leads to an uncomfortable situation for their oldest one.
Matt Harvey, who has more experience in a major league rotation than the rest of the Orioles’ rotation combined, starts Wednesday against the Kansas City Royals in a unique spot. He’s given the Orioles more than they could ask of him, and might soon be nearing a time when they stop asking him to take the ball down the stretch.
“We’ve gone start-to-start with Harvey here for the last four or five starts,” manager Brandon Hyde said Tuesday.
